I'm glad I was able to get around efficiently within the time limit. It would have been even better if meals had been included. I'm glad I was able to go to Ayutthaya.

A very insightful tour experience. We really learned a lot about the old city of Ayutthaya. I would really like to commend Ms. Wan, our tour guide for being knowledgeable about Ayutthaya and for really taking good care of all of us. The tour is great way to explore the old city of Ayutthaya. I would remember this place forever. And will always be in awe of this old city. Love this place so much.
